It's a big step, but not the final one. iDeaS is the first DS emulator to boot commercial ROMs, but it's far from
fully-functional. When you load the Metroid demo it freezes during the opening sequence. Still, this is definitely a
breakthrough. We'll let you know when it's more polished.

I thought that all the 'cool' hacks were different versions of the PSP browser exploit.

I guess it was inevitable, but it still doesn't mean I like to see it happen.
This is just one of the many problems with gaming these days. No one gives a shit about their purchases anymore and no one cares what they're doing with current console/handheld emulation.
It might not be mainstream enough to have a huge effect, but now I have to endure the comments about how "i just dled dis kewl game called touch kirby".
